I looked up in search bar and didnt find much, i have ridden the Drop kicks for a season now but went to try on the classics and they were way comfortable.. Really thinking about picking up a pair, just wanted to hear straight from anyone who has ridden the classics in the park.. They feel good just like any other FT boot?

I know plenty of people that ride classics in the park, and if this makes any difference, I am pretty sure before Henrik got his pro model he rode classics too.

Other then the ridid boot board the classic I the same as the drop kick. It will fit the same an ski the same. If you wanted to upgrade go for one of the new shells and the pro liner.

No they will explode the minute your skis touch the snow in the designated "terrain park". Everyone knows you can only use a park boot in the park.

how much do u weigh? im 140 and use classics and can say there the best boot for a all around skier.
not to soft to charge with em and not to stiff for the park and hard landings,

Both the Drop Kick and the Classic use the same FT Original shell, only difference is the Classics use the rigid boot board where as the Drop Kicks use the active boot board. Also the Classics are slightly heavier than the Drop Kicks. I don't use FTs, but most guys who do say the active boot board is a must have, just something you might want to factor into your decision making.

and to add on to this, you can buy the rubber boot boar to replace the rigid one in the drop kicks. i believe they are about $25
